One day while Dorothy Stratten was on shift working at a Diary Queen, an older man walked into the store. Dorothy noted his outfit – a long fur coat, lizard skin boots, and gold and diamond jewelry – and she was captivated. She had never seen anyone like him before, and the two talked for a little bit before he drove off in a black sports car. Dorothy was sure she would never see the sophisticated stranger again. To her surprise, the man called the store a few days later looking for her, and asked her out on a date. The man, 26-year-old Paul Snider, had seen Dorothy's beauty and he had plans for her. Paul was a man with no real means of securing an income. He had dropped out of school when he was 14 years old, and had spent his time in bike gangs, as well as various scams and hustles to make a little money. He had also tried his hand at pimping, but this endeavor failed. At the time, he spent his time promoting auto and cycle shows. After meeting Dorothy, Paul had found another way to make money, and he told a number of people, "That girl could make me a lot of money."
Hollywood & the Playboy Mansion would beckon for Dorothy...But soon Paul would find himself over his head...and become jealous of Dorothy's success...
